I didn't think they were eating their own young in Carrickedmond these days - I thought they feasted on the youth of Moydow and Legan.

If Mitchell was born in Carrickedmond, he should always have played with Longford.  What's he coming 'home' for now?  Our last experiment at 'buying' a fullback didn't work, so I can't see the logic in this either - and we shouldn't be stooping to the level of Cork/Kildare.  

Four home games in the League - five wins should take us up, or do we just have to stay in top four to qualify for the new D3?  Monaghan away is winnable - if we get a neutral ref this time.  Points will be hard to come by in Roscommon, but we should take points in Carlow.  Biffos will be hard beaten even in Longford.

Are Skellig Rangers fom Ballinskelligs AZ?

Jaysus BC, you can't even stay out of rows in cyberspace. 

This should have been the shortest topic in the history of all the boards.   

Unless we start one about the broadmindedness of Armagh-Tyrone debates.

The mind boggles!

Anyroads, Matt Connor, maurice fitz, Canavan, fat Corkery, and myself in my pomp

Thanks for the bellylaugh BC!    Are ye sure the 'fat' is in the right place in the sentence there?

Ignoring the fact that Ulster is the centre of the universe, it's hard to see past Matt Connor and Maurice Fitz, though I'd have a soft spot for John Egan too.

Good point.

I was under the impression that there was a general (if not official) consensus that he was just too small/light for inter-county football.

because the County Chairman has told us so

You're a cynical man Laureleye! 

As far as I know, because we're D4, if we lose we're in Disaster Cup situation alright, but I'd hope we'd be good enough for the neighbours, with home advantage.

Hanniffy would be very good cover for midfield alright, but like Laureleye, I thought he'd lost interest completely.  I knew Podgie was over the worst of his injury, but I didn't think he'd be back.  I'm not sure what part Niall will play, with the running and passing game seeming to have replaced the aimless long-ball to targetman game - I'd have thought reverting to that would be very retrograde, but Eastlongford have never been able for him, in fairness.

Anyone know what the list of League fixtures looks like?

Anyone for the Shell Mayo Championship?

the gaa could be a bit more imaginative on other income streams eg bank of ireland football etc.

Do you mean that we should encourage other thieves/robbers to sponsor gaelic games, and that they are a better influence?
